Optimizing Food Delivery Efficiency: A Sensor-Based Robotics Approach to Minimize Spillage and Wastage

Nysa Gaur | Mohammed Mukhtar | Ahmed Shameem

Abstract: In the last few years growth in the online food and delivery industry has grown exponentially, this increase in demand has brought a need for faster food delivery overall. Today it is estimated that around 15000 delivery drivers in Dubai are risking their lives on the roads every day, driving at dangerously high speeds to meet customer and corporation expectations. Due to the high speeds and sharp turns, the food being transported has a high chance of spilling creating huge financial set-backs for delivery workers. With the aim of solving this issue, we have created a prototype model utilizing fundamentals from the gyroscope. The model senses the motion of the bike through the GY-521 (MPU6050) gyro module and appropriately creates a counter pitch and roll movement in order to keep the edibles fully intact. The body of the prototype is 3d printed with appropriate dimensions, allowing for easier integration into already existing food delivery units. The various limitations for the prototype will likely find their own resolution when developing the final design. The model has great potential to be beneficial to not only delivery drivers but, for corporations and customers alike.
